CONFIRMED: New Guardians of the Galaxy Attraction at Epcot Will Be A Roller Coaster

Ever since the announcement was made at D23 earlier this year that Universe of Energy at Epcot would be closing to make way for a new Guardians of the Galaxy attraction, Disney insiders have been speculating that Disney World could be getting its next big roller coaster.

Thrill ride lovers will be pleased to know that an announcement was made at an Epcot 35th Anniversary press event early this week suggesting that this is indeed the case. During the event, Epcot VP Melissa Valiquette confirmed that the attraction will be a coaster.

Disney sources are reporting that permits have been filed for an 11 story building that will house the coaster and that the Universe of Energy building will remain intact but will be updated and used as part of the ride’s queuing area.

For a look at the current construction taking place at Epcot, check out this article.
